Farecast’s new look

Farecast, the venture-backed startup that is trying to predict the prices of airline tickets, is getting closer to launching its service. The Seattle company has a new Web site and logo and just started “officially” accepting people into a private test.

I wrote about Farecast last week after reading about a competitive service called Flyspy in TechCrunch. And here is the story I did on the company last summer after it raised $7 million in funding from Greylock, Madrona Venture Group and WRF Capital.

Farecast Chief Executive Hugh Crean still isn’t saying much about how his company’s service will work or when it will make its public debut.

But for those who want to know the best time to buy that ticket to New York, Atlanta or Chicago, the service couldn’t come soon enough.
